P7 Journey Through the Past
P7 journeyed back through the ages to 1845 America during their visit to the Ulster American Folk Park.
We discovered what life was like for families living in small, single-room dwellings and learned just how important potatoes were in everyday life. Pupils even sampled bread freshly cooked on a griddle and asked lots of thoughtful questions in each house they visited.
After experiencing a taste of school life from the past, everyone agreed on one thing: we certainly wouldnβt like to have gone to school back then!
